Selecting information from several web pages...

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B...00/31-con.html
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B...00/34-con.html
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B...3/331-con.html
I know that all these pages follow a certain pattern in their layout. I want to make a small consolidated report of all hp-ux commands listed in these pages with only their, say descriptions, examples etc...
If I have a command which works in a loop on such urls and in each turn return me the page contents, I can filter out sections which I want...
Is this possible? Any hint is highly appreciated...
Also is there a UNIX utility which converts html to simple readable text?
Cheers!
Vishnu.
